    This is shaping up to be a fun weekend with the 458's in the mix. I hear from Ferrari of SF today that the FOG group is making their run on Saturday, FCA on Sunday. Also, two track times each day for us amateurs. Sounds like a good two day event to me.

    SoCal guys are having the same problem purchasing VIP tickets for the Laguna Seca event. Hopefully they get it resolved soon. Ferrari + Electronics = ?? If you jump into your car and the check engine light turns on sympathetically, you'll know why. :)

    Sledge,

    Awesome memories, bro. Even from that overhead view, I can still see where our cars were parked next to each other with the engine decks up. Brings me back to when I got to drive my father around the track. This was my first time driving on a track. Though it wasn't a real track session, driving slower and much crowded through most of it...the thrill of having my dad accompany me around the track is seriously one of the highlights of my short life. He was the one that first brought me to Modena as a young boy, It was my honor, on that challenge track day, to somewhat pay him back for all addiction that he started me on. It doesn't get much better than that.

    Vraiment,

    Thanks for setting up the test day just prior to the Ferrari Challange, so we can get our cars dialed in for our sessions at Infineon. Can not wait to do some serious driving! :)

    Just a quick question:

    Will this be a "normal" track session with standard track rules such as helmets, point-bys, and flags, or a more casual if very brisk parade lapping session?

    TIA!
